Chapter 125 Shiori's Secret Efforts Tutoring time is painful for everyone. It is painful for the students, and equally painful for the teacher. After studying for a whole morning, seeing that Suguha Ezaki was still troubled by some simple math problems, Mine Shiori felt a little helpless but had to let her take a break. It is not possible not to rest. Even if the other party does not understand after explaining it two or three times, I should take a rest myself even if the other party does not need to. "Sorry, Master." As if she had noticed Mine Shiori's troubles, there was always more guilt in Esaki Suguha's eyes when she looked at her. But there was no way, she really couldn't learn it. "It's okay. I'll tell you a few more times after we finish our meal and rest." Mine Shiori smiled reluctantly, "Tell me more and you'll understand."
"Ah, ah" Ezaki Suguha's face became more and more embarrassed. This guy, who was always straightforward and courageous in swordsmanship and other matters, hesitated for a long time this time and whispered, "The meal cooked by the chef at home should be here soon." The only way she could think of to change the subject without being awkward was to talk about lunch. "This is the first time I've had lunch at Suguha's house." Mine Shiori quickly adjusted her mindset and smiled gently, "But Suguha treated us last night as well." "No, my brother actually paid for it yesterday, so it doesn't matter." Jiang Qizhiye pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Master, what major do you plan to choose in the future?" "Hey, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" "I'm just a little curious, because now I'm basically preparing for the future unified examinations and school examinations, but I don't have any practical understanding of what will happen afterwards, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ask." Ezaki Suguha explained. "So this is ah." Mine Shiori thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with knowing about the professional choices in advance. Although the University of Tokyo currently implements a general education system for the first and second years, some other schools allow students to choose their majors in the first year. If you think about it carefully, it never hurts to learn about it in advance. So Mine Shiori pondered for a while and decided to tell everyone about her future choices. "Sure enough, I should still choose a major that focuses on literature, because I am very interested in this area." "Literature?" Jiang Qizhiye said with some envy: "That's great. Actually, I am also very interested in these things, but I can hardly learn them." "If you're interested, just read more books or something." Mine Shiori smiled bitterly and explained, "You don't need to study it. This major is actually useless. There's a high probability that you'll be unemployed after graduation. It will be very troublesome to find a suitable company before then." She was telling the truth.
Companies in island countries generally implement a lifetime employment system, which means that the actual changes in their employees are not as great as those in companies in other countries, and the number of people recruited each year is not too large. In addition, the island nation's economy has been in a downturn in recent years, and more and more local companies have closed down. For people with a literature major, even if they take the civil service exam, it will be very difficult to find a job in the future. In other words, if you don't have connections, your future is basically over. However, Mine Shiori is not without her own advantages, that is, her academic degree from the University of Tokyo. With this "stepping stone", even if she cannot find a suitable job in the future, Mine Shiori can choose to continue to take postgraduate entrance examinations or study for a doctorate or develop abroad. Although she doesn't really want to develop in this direction. Thinking of this, Mine Shiori's expression suddenly became a little gloomy. If possible, she actually wants to join the four major publishing groups, especially the Otowa Group. The reason is very simple. The four major publishing groups have a very high status in the island country. Anyone who is engaged in literary and artistic work cannot have not heard of their names. The fields they are involved in are no longer limited to a certain literary type, they also dabble in other aspects. Apart from this, Mine Shiori also has other reasons. She has her own little thoughts. That's about Sawayama Haruno. The other party said that the book he was writing was expected to be submitted to Kodansha, which is the largest publishing company under the Otowa Group. It would be great if I could work for Kodansha, as an editor or in some other position, as long as I could have some contact with Sawayama Haruno, it would be fine. Mine Shiori wanted to get closer to the other person in this way. She is the kind of girl who lacks the courage to speak her mind. But if one changes one's perspective, for example, if one sets the goal as "working hard together with Sawayama Haruno", Mine Shiori feels that she might be able to accumulate enough courage in the process. "This is pretty obvious, right? It's work-related after all," she thought. As long as it is work-related, there will be endless reasons to interact with others, and these are reasons that you "have to" do so in various senses. She felt that if she continued to contact Sawayama Haruno with this reason, one day she would be able to express her feelings to him and finally be together with Sawayama Haruno. For this reason, she can now put in more effort. He worked harder and moved closer to where Zeshan Haruno was going. In the end, he would be able to express his feelings frankly at that place. "master." Sitting opposite, Ezaki Suguha seemed to notice something, frowned and asked, "Master, is there anything bothering you?" “Oh, no.” Mine Shiori suddenly came to her senses, waved her hands quickly, and smiled, "I just made this expression out of habit. I'm sorry, I don't have any objection to Suguha." "I still know this. What I mean is that if there is anything I can help with, please just tell me." Jiang Qizhiye looked at her deeply and said solemnly, "It's okay even if it's just to talk. Because we are not only the master and apprentice relationship in academics, but also friends in private." "Suguha." The more she said this, the more embarrassed Mine Shiori became. After thinking about it, she felt that it didn't matter if some things were said out loud, so after hesitating for a moment, Mine Shiori told Ezaki Suguha some of her thoughts about the future. What she didn't notice was that when she heard that Sawayama Haruno was writing a book and that they all wanted to work together in Kodansha, Ezaki Suguha had a thoughtful expression on her face.
